Sub: Relaxation in qualifying marks in Type test of Departmental Examination for promotion of 12^th class passed MTS officials to the cadre of LDC in PAO, Cuttack-reg.

 

Respected Sir,

I would like to draw your kind attention to the above referred subject. In this connection I had submitted a representation to the Secretary(Post) during his camp at Circle Office, Bhubaneswar on 09.03.2020 requesting him to reduce the qualifying marks in Paper-III (Typing Test) of Departmental Exam for promotion of  12 Nos MTS to LDC in PAO, Cuttack at par with the provisions contained in Directorate letter No. F-No-17-18/2018-SPN-1 dated 11.12.2019. It is inspiring to know that this matter is in active consideration of PA Wing. The syllabus of various Departmental Examination are also required to be reviewed & necessary amendments are also required to be made including relaxation of standard in Paper-III (Type Test) at par with the provisions contained in aforesaid Directorate letter dated 11.12.2019.

 Although PA wing vide Letter No. 48-1/67-PACE/696 to 719 dated 24-06-1993,  permitted Gr-D/Sorters who passed in Paper I & II, but failed in Paper-III(Type Test) for promotion as LDC against existing vacancies subject to the condition to pass the Type Test within 02 years failing which to be reverted to their substantive cadre, a few practical problems experienced in this regard are mentioned below.

1.   Two officials named Smt Jayanti Majhi & Sri Anil Kumar Buda  were promoted to LDC Cadre  vide this office Letter No- Admn.1/2990 dated 09/05/2018 under the above provision but they were allowed to appear in type test exam on 23.02.2020, almost after 02 years after request of this Service Association.

2.   In the said Directorate order dated 24.6.1993, it is not specified who will conduct the type test for such employees and the frequency of conduct of type test.

3.   Such employees are required to pass the type test within 02 years and they are to be given a minimum of 04 chances to pass the test. Hence proper mechanism may be evolved to meet the requirement.                                                                             

4.   In the PA Wing Letter  dated 24.6.1993, there is provision for conditional promotion but there is no provision if they will be allowed to appear the next Departmental Examination in Paper-III only.

  Therefore, it is humbly  requested to consider the following grievances sympathetically.

(i)          The promotion to LDC of 12  Candidates failed in type test exam may kindly be considered under dte letter dated 24/06/1993, and arrangements may be made for conducting  type test for them by the office.

(ii)        Under Provisions mentioned in DGP&T Letter dated 04.05.1981, review of result of the SC/ST Candidates may be undertaken.

(iii)       PA Wing may kindly be requested to allow PAOs to conduct the type test on half yearly basis as the candidates are supposed to make 4 attempts within the stipulated two years period. The first such test may kindly be made  as early as possible maintaining social distance for the examinees.

(iv)      If the promoted LDC will not get chance to appear type test on half yearly basis, they may kindly be allowed to appear only for type test in next Departmental Examination.

(v)        The type test exam of  Smt Jayanti Majhi & Sri Anil Kumar Buda  may be conducted along with these 12 candidates.

  With regards.                                                                  

Yours faithfully,

 (KALINGA  KUMAR  PANDA,
